Abstract :
Over the last years Technology Entrepreneurship has developed as a distinct stream of research at the nexus of Entrepreneurship and the Management of Technology and Innovation. Yet, despite several special issues and an increased level of interest, no comprehensive definition of the field has been developed so far. This paper attempts to be a starting point for this discussion by deriving a framework based on elements identified in a review of the articles in the special issues. It structures Technology Entrepreneurship along the entrepreneurial process into a formation, exploitation and renewal phase and applies different levels of investigation at the product, firm and at the systems level.
